Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An adaptive response is the body's attempt to restore homeostasis (balance) in response to a stressor. This response involves a series of physiological and behavioral changes that help the body cope with the stressor and return to its normal functioning state. The other options (alarm reaction, fight-or-flight response, stressful event sequence) refer to different stages or aspects of the stress response, and do not specifically address the body's attempt to restore homeostasis.
